Got a multimeter? Or a circuit tester?
Check earth continuity if you have, if not, just rig an earth to battery -ve and see if it makes a difference.
Check the relay, (I assume there IS a relay?) And the fuse, (I assume there IS a fuse?) Check the relay earth, (terminal 86 or 85).
Check that the relay clicks when you switch the lights on. Check that power is REACHING the relay at terminal 30 from the battery +ve and coming OUT of the relay towards the ballasts at terminal 87.
Check that 12V is reaching the ballasts.
DO be careful with ballasts, they can give a very nasty shock
